Travel technology firm Digital Trip has compiled a list of the top six apps for business trips this summer:
Onavo
Data roaming charges are still very high but this handy app will help you bypass a large bill at the end of your holiday. Once installed, it reduces the amount of data you need to perform everyday tasks such as: downloading emails, updating your LinkedIn status and browsing on Twitter. This app is free on Android and iPhone.
Tipulator
Tipping in an unfamiliar country is rarely something to worry about until you’re at the table getting dirty looks from the waiter. In some countries a generous tip will cause offence, while in others what may seem generous will draw scathing remarks. This app not only helps to split bills, but it also calculates tips depending on where you are and the currency you’re using. Available on iPhone for just 69p.
Better Translator Pro
This app supports over 50 languages in text-to-text mode and 11 languages with voice recognition. It uses both Google and Bing’s translation services to provide the best accuracy possible. Available on Android for £1.95.
XE Currency
This app provides you with an accurate currency conversion. Available for free on iPhone and Android.
Around Me
This clever app is great for answering questions you would normally need to ask a local. Like a private tour guide, it can tell you where the best hotels, shops and food experiences are near you. It works locating you and finding nearby points of interest based on what you're looking for. It's free on iPhone and Android.
Sunscreen
Scientists reckon up to 80 per cent of skin damage caused before the age of 60 is due to the sun - time to slap on the sunscreen. We’re sure you remembered to pack it but to get optimum protection you have to be smart about applying it. This app cleverly detects the UVI rating of your location and sets a countdown timer to alert you when it’s time for reapplication. Simply input your skin type, the SPF of your sunblock and keep the lobster look away. Available for free on iPhone and Android.
